After opening an office in São Paulo, Sportingtech has entered the hiring phase of Brazilian professionals to boost growth in the local market. In an exclusive interview with GMB, Marina Selmi, the company's sales manager, highlighted that the company is ready for regulation, has been working in harmony with the government's technical requirements, and already has all the certifications needed to exceed partner expectations.
Games Magazine Brasil - 113 companies have submitted their license applications to the Ministry of Finance's Betting Awards Secretariat. Obviously, many of them are clients of Sportingtech. What are the company's expectations regarding the approval of these applications?
Marina Selmi -
Very high expectations. We have been working for a long time to get the platform ready for regulation and we have very good clients. All of them have applied for a license, so our prospects are excellent.
Is the platform ready, including tools that involve integrity and responsible gaming?
Yes, we are well advanced in terms of regulation and everything is ready for us to start operating in January as per all the legal requirements. We have been working closely with the Data Processing Service (Serpro) and with all the necessary certifications, including GLI. Now, we just need to start the regulation.
You recently opened an office in Brazil. How is the work going in this new phase for Sportingtech?
It is going very well. We recently opened the office in Vila Lobos (in São Paulo), and we are hiring a lot of people. It's a time in the market when many people are wanting to enter the industry, so we have great expectations of having an increasingly larger team in the Brazilian market.
Is this a clear demonstration of your focus on the Brazilian market at this time?
Exactly. The more Brazilians, the better.
How has Sportingtech's work been in seeking partners in the Latin American market? Do you also operate in this area or are you currently focusing only on Brazil?
We already have a roadmap formed for the coming years and, obviously, plan to expand more and more into Latin America. But for now, we are focusing on Brazil, obviously with the regulation and everything happening. Therefore, Brazil is our focus, but we definitely have plans to increase our presence throughout Latin America in the future.
